The film was Patti Smith. It conveyed her perfectly.

Kind of a long, abstract work of her poetry and music set to video, with some intermingled storytelling. Does include some pretty cool backstage footage, some 'unplugged' musical moments, as well as concert material. f you're a true fan, it's for you. If you're looking for a linear 'Patti Smith' story, probably should look elsewhere.
